It is over twenty years ago since we called the attention of our readers to this wonderful Pennsylvania apple, and yet little is known of it to-day. One of its class, the Smith's Cider, has managed to get a fair run, but it is a comparatively poor grower, and nurserymen do not like to keep it. The Water Apple is fully its equal in everything that relates to popular characters, and is besides a good grower. We reproduce a cut we gave of it at the time of first describing it, in hopes that those interested in introducing good apples to orchard planters may give it some attention.
